Introduction to the Study of English Literature e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I am under a debt of obligation to Professor Elton, who read through the proofs of the book, and also to Professor P. G. Thomas, who generously revised the medieval section in minute detail. But I must accept the responsibility for the final form of the statements in the book throughout.
